Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - 4/20/95, p.78
4 Stars - Excellent - "...With his raspy, lisp-punctuated voice and half-sung, half-rapped style, [Ol' Dirty Bastard] may well be the most original vocalist in hip-hop history..."Entertainment Weekly - 3/31/95, p.61
"...This solo effort by a second member of the near-platinum Wu-Tang Clan showcases the raw, innovative talent of their illest member....RZA's signature dissonant piano loops [sparkle] behind Dirty's delirious, reverberating delivery..." - Rating: A-The Wire - 10/01, p.46
"...Deeply entertaining..."Vibe - 5/95, p.97
"...Ol' Dirty's catchy sing-along...is paired with subtle keyboards and the RZA's typically murky beats, yielding a mystic's brew, which, like all Wu-related fare, defiantly flies in the face of conventions....the aural pleasures are...convincing..."The Source - 5/95, p.65
4 Stars - Slammin' - "...The third shot fired in the Wu-Tang revolution spotlights the crazy drunken flow of the Ol' Dirty Bastard....a must-have for every real hardcore head....hardcore lyrics kicked live over a non-stop assault of that addictive Shao-lin funk..."Melody Maker - 4/22/95, p.35
Recommended - "...an hour of cruel hard and frighteningly funny hip hop; the perfect companion piece to Wu-Tang's 36 CHAMBERS...the songs are driven by a vicious, unstable urgency..."Village Voice (2/20/96) - Ranked #39 in Village Voice's 1995 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll.
Pitchfork (Website) - "[A] masterclass in winging it. The spontaneity of his live stunts extended to his raps: You never knew what he was going to do or say next..."
